Lukas Nelson has teamed up with Lainey Wilson for a playful and flirty new collaboration. Released today (March 22), “More Than Friends” finds the pair on the verge of risking it all and making the leap from being pals to something more. Backed by richly layered, slow-rolling instrumentation, the instantly infectious and lively collaboration spotlights

Joshua Ray Walker is back in the saddle again. The Texas singer/songwriter has quickly made a name for himself as one of the top up artists in the Texas country scene. He burst onto the scene with his impressive debut album Wish You Were Here, and has progressively improved his craft with each album since, as his

Carly Pearce’s vocals are on another level. And I can’t wait to hear them on full display on her very first live album, 29: Written In Stone (Live From Music City), which was recorded during an intimate concert event at Marathon Music Works in Nashville, Tennessee. It’s slated to drop this Friday, March 24th, and the tracklist will

Everything about the music video for “Here’s A Quarter (Call Someone Who Cares)” screams ’90s country, and a recent tweet reminded me just how hysterically artful this Travis Tritt song is. Ice cold… Released in 1991, Tritt beautifully told the story of how to treat an ex-partner when they try to win you back. The

The country music world these days is full of fake cowboys who like to sing about the rodeo but have never been on a horse in their life. I won’t name any names, but walk up and down Music Row and you’ll see plenty of guys who walk into the studio looking like they just

I haven’t been this excited to hear a song in a long time. Lainey Wilson previously said that she and the great Lukas Nelson had been writing together, and even teamed up for a special song, and it’s actually coming really soon. They both revealed on Instagram a couple days ago that a duet called “More

Flashback to 2006… Taylor Swift has moved far beyond her humble country music beginnings, but selfishly I’ll admit that those first few years of T. Swift country were my favorite of hers. And it’s nice to see her acknowledging where her famous career all started by sharing her debut hit, “Tim McGraw” on stage. It

Step aside Drake, there’s a new sheriff in town. Morgan Wallen’s One Thing At A Time album is shaping up to be one of the biggest in music history. It already had the biggest streaming week of any country album in history, but now it’s on par with some of the absolute biggest stars in all

Willie Nelson, the nearly 90 year old country music legend, shows no signs of slowing down. This time, he stars in a “Road to the Final Four” Capital One advertisement, which is a staple of March Madness. The ad starts with Charles Barkley, Samuel L. Jackson and Jennifer Gardner riding down the highway in the

As promised, Luke Combs dropped the highly anticipated “5 Leaf Clover” on St. Patrick’s Day. The North Carolina native has truly shown out with his lead singles ahead of his upcoming album, Gettin’ Old, which is slated to drop next Friday, March 24th. The album will also feature the longtime fan favorite, “Fast Car,” a cover

I’m fully convinced that there aren’t many better ways for an artist to pay homage to their heroes, than by covering their hits in a tribute album. With that being said, we have one helluva tribute album out today… And it’s for one of the greatest rock bands of all time, The Rolling Stones. Titled Stoned

Luke Combs is ringing in St. Patrick’s Day by sharing a longtime fan favorite from his upcoming album. Written by Combs, Jessi Alexander and Chase McGill, “5 Leaf Clover” is about recognizing and appreciating life’s blessings, even if you aren’t sure if you deserve them. “A while back my buddy Newdy and I were looking

The up and coming country artist Randall King graced country music fans with a short teaser of a yet-to-be-released song on his TikTok. King is being crowned a “country traditionalist” even though he is just breaking into the country music industry. The singer, who is signed by Warner Music, has released two albums in the

Whiskey Riff Madness is BACK! It’s that time of year again: March Madness kicks off today, which means by the time you’re reading this my bracket is probably already busted. Oh well… But March Madness isn’t the only tournament going on. For the sixth year in a row, we’re bringing you our annual Whiskey Riff

Margo Price joins forces with Sierra Ferrell for a fresh take on “Change of Heart.” The stand-out single off Price’s fourth studio album Strays recently spent an impressive fourteen weeks at No. 1 on the Americana radio charts. Released today (March 16), the pair bring an intimate feel to this new version of the tune,

Has “Purple Rain” ever been played at the historic Ryman auditorium before? Even if it has, it would be hard to beat this killer performance led by country music icons Darius Rucker and Brad Paisley. Paisley and Rucker weren’t the only prominent country artists on stage to bring the Prince song to life at the

Growing up, Kendall Lujan always loved to sing, but being active in sports and having extreme stage fright kept her from pursuing it. Now a few years removed from college and singing background vocals for jazz and funk groups, the Portland-based artist’s passion will come full circle with the release of her debut self-titled EP on March

Talk about a stroke of bad luck… Sorry, I had to. The team over at Luck Reunion, home of Willie Nelson’s expansive ranch and home base, as well as his awesome, annual festival, just announced that they are postponing this year’s festival. There’s a weather alert for the Spicewood, Texas region on the day of the

The unlikely duo of Axl Rose and Carrie Underwood have worked before on stage, and they were back at it again last night with this powerful rendition of “Welcome to the Jungle.” Carrie Underwood is currently on her “Denim and Rhinestones” Tour and decided to call in Axl Rose for some help at her show
